(running 8.04 because I needed a certain version of MySQL, and that was the easiest LAMP stack to create that had what I needed).

Anyway, I'm trying to install awstats.

I get the following error:

root@li53-24:/etc# apt-get install awstats

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I poked around, and there *was* a security update issued yesterday. I don't know if that's causing my problems.

I assume what's wrong is either

1) apt-get needs to get an updated list of packages somewhere
2) I need to update some other packages before I can install awstats
3) I just need to wait until that security update propagates around
4) some other answer, and I'm just stupid.

Can anyone shed light on this situation?


Thanks,

Eric.

Did you try


apt-get update will probably fix it.

With apt based systems, it's always worth running "apt-get update" before doing any installs, so as to refresh your cache of available packages. Without it you could end up trying to download an old removed version of the package.

Thanks, obs + sweh!

I was confused between "upgrade" and "update". I didn't want to make huge changes (even though this is my test linode).

Running update allowed the install to complete!

Have a read of
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/har ... get.8.html
It tells you all the cool things apt can do

You _are_ running 'upgrade' on a regular basis, right?
